21 interviews. Yes, that many. I couldn't even imagine receiving so many interviews back in early December when I started reaching out to Runescape and Stellar Dawn fan sites I knew about. But reception was overwhelmingly positive and I want to thank all the fan sites and all the people who participated, as well as people who helped me to obtain the interviews. Thank you very much!

Did I achieve the initial goal of "helping Runescape (and future Stellar Dawn) players to better understand what is driving and motivating people behind all these wonderful sites everybody uses, why were these sites created and what fan site owners/developers/admins have to deal with in order to maintain the sites"? I think so. And I hope you would agree with me.There is something else, though. What I see in these interviews is a clear sign of united and much more open Runescape community. There is no way such series of interviews could appear just two years ago. Absolutely no way. And for that, I think, we should thank Jagex and their changed attitude towards fan sites.

Here is the full list of interviews (in the same order as I published them). If you missed some of them or want to find a particular one, this page would be a good place to start from. Cheers!
